Telecom quietly recruits 'test pilots' for new low cost ISP
Telecom is quietly testing the waters for a new, low cost, no-frills internet service featuring no data limits, and no contracts. Big Pipe will offer naked broadband from $69 a month.
The company is using the little-publicised Big Pipe home page, and overtures to members of online forum Geekzone, to recruit "test pilots" for the new ISP sub-brand.
choing the launch of Skinny in the mobile market, there is no Telecom branding on the Big Pipe home page, or its (so far little-noticed) Facebook page. All plans offer uncapped data and range from a joke speed at $69 (1Mbit/s up and down) to up to 20Mbit/s down for $79 and up to 60Mbit/s down for $99.
All are over ADSL or VDSL (that is, copper broadband rather than fibre).
